Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 462 - 459: Ninth Realm, Middle Stage!

Tiger King Ridge, within Peach Grove Valley.

Under the Bodhi Tree, Jiang Che sat with eyes closed in meditation, the Law of Thunder faintly flickering within him. His body radiated brilliant lightning, the aura of destruction and life cycling through him, dispersing in all directions.

On the ground around Jiang Che, several slender Spirit Grasses were swiftly born and perished under the glow of the lightning.

It seemed that under the influence of Jiang Che’s aura, those few Spirit Grasses rapidly grew, budded, flowered, and withered. Once the seeds fell, they sprouted again, multiplying into dozens of Spirit Grasses.

In a few moments, a large patch of Spirit Grass spread out, encircling Jiang Che.

After a long while, Jiang Che finally opened his eyes, the purple thunder patterns in his pupils and the lightning around him quickly retracting and disappearing.

The grass around him, upon the disappearance of Jiang Che’s rule aura, withered and crumbled into dust in an instant, dissolving into the ground.

"My cultivation is finally stabilized!"

Jiang Che’s lips curved slightly, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes.

Over the three years, it wasn’t just the external human and demon clans progressing; within Tiger King Ridge, both the demon soldiers below and the trio of Jiang Che made great strides in their cultivation.

Among the demon soldiers below, Demon Generals like Tiger Vanguard had abundant resources, enjoying favorable environments. With Jiang Che’s occasional guidance, the highest-powered Tiger Vanguard had reached the late Phase Six, not far from Phase Seven.

Lesser Demon Generals like Niu Dali mostly reached Phase Six as well.

Any one of them could dominate a region within the Great Qin Empire, eligible to learn from the Demon King Loose Cultivators and establish their own power.

As for Jiang Che and his two companions, their progress was notable, though the leap in cultivation wasn’t as significant as Tiger Vanguard’s due to their already high realms.

The second, Fang Yuan, had reached the pinnacle of Phase Seven. According to him, he was just a step away from Phase Eight.

The third sister, Nangong Luo, also advanced to the pinnacle of Phase Seven, though slightly behind Fang Yuan, having only broken through a couple of days ago.

Despite both being at the pinnacle of Phase Seven, Nangong Luo still had a way to go to Phase Eight.

After all, Fang Yuan had access to Primordial Demonic Qi from the Ancestral Demon Realm, an opportunity Nangong Luo lacked.

As for Jiang Che himself, being in the Tier Nine Emperor Realm, his breakthrough speed couldn’t be faster, even with tenfold feedback. The difference between Tier Nine Emperor Realm and the lower levels was immense.

Thanks to his third sister Nangong Luo, who broke through to the pinnacle of Phase Seven a few days ago, the tenfold feedback Jiang Che received helped him advance smoothly to the mid Tier Nine!

Over three years, Jiang Che received considerable tenfold feedback, but even so, it took three full years to surpass the mid Tier Nine.

This made Jiang Che sigh inwardly at the challenges of cultivating beyond Tier Nine Emperor Realm.

"Big brother, you’re awake? How is it? Your cultivation should be stable now, right?"

At this moment, Nangong Luo, accompanied by Xiao Zi, slowly entered from outside the valley. Seeing Jiang Che awake, she asked cheerfully.

"Just stabilizing cultivation, it’s no big deal for me!

What happened to you? Did you and the little fox fight again?"

Jiang Che waved carelessly at first, then noticed the blood at the corner of Nangong Luo’s mouth, frowning as he asked.

"That’s right, if I don’t give that b*tch a good beating, she won’t learn!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Luo’s face fell as she replied irritably.

Jiang Che felt speechless. Over the past three years, the Hall Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, the Nine-tailed Fox, often came by to spar with Nangong Luo.

The two disliked each other, engaging in minor fights every three days and major fights every five days.

The commotion from their battles was so extreme that it was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, causing the demon soldiers in Tiger King Ridge to become almost neurotic, anxious every day, and fearing the day they might be caught in the crossfire, dying with grievance.

Due to the frequent complaints from Tiger Vanguard and other Demon Generals, and since Jiang Che was also disturbed from sleeping well, he had to intervene to set a rule for Nangong Luo and the Nine-tailed Fox.

The rule was: they could fight, but not within Tiger King Ridge; they must do so at least ten miles away.

"Third sister, I

think it’s best to return the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell to the little fox! After all, Tiger King Ridge is abundant with spirit treasures, not lacking this one. If you two keep fighting like this, when will it ever end?"

Jiang Che sighed as he advised her.

In fairness, Jiang Che had chosen a suitable sparring partner. Over the past three years, with constant sparring, both Nangong Luo and the Nine-tailed Fox advanced nearly simultaneously in cultivation and strength, neither able to truly defeat the other.

Because of this, their fights often ended in mutual exhaustion, and Nangong Luo frequently returned with injuries.

"No way!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Che finished speaking, Nangong Luo’s firm voice came through.

Nangong Luo’s expression was grim, her face clearly expressing refusal.

"Third sister, there are plenty of treasures in Tiger King Ridge. You can pick one, like the Heavenly Dao Mirror from Celestial Dao Sect, which is a great option. There’s no need to cling to the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell."

Jiang Che suggested, after all, he had previously promised the Nine-tailed Fox that the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell was only borrowed, to be returned once she defeated Nangong Luo.

In essence, the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell belonged to the Nine-tailed Fox.

Previously, due to a lack of spirit treasures, he had taken the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell from the Nine-tailed Fox. Now that Tiger King Ridge had an abundance of spirit treasures, returning the bell wasn’t a big deal.

"I refuse, even if I threw the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell away, I wouldn’t give it back to that b*tch! Not unless she can defeat me!"

Nangong Luo huffed in anger.

Now she had accumulated new and old grievances against the Nine-tailed Fox. Previous life’s grudges combined with the resentments accumulated in this life from constant fighting prevented her from simply returning the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell.

Moreover, returning it like that would mean conceding defeat in their rivalry, which was unacceptable!

Hearing her stance, Jiang Che immediately understood, feeling a wave of helplessness. Judging by Nangong Luo’s attitude, persuading her to return the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell seemed impossible.

Thinking it over, Jiang Che decided to let it go. After all, he was only attempting to try; if it didn’t work, he wouldn’t insist.

Bang!

Just then, a thunderous roar exploded over Tiger King Ridge.

Both Jiang Che and Nangong Luo’s faces changed, looking towards the sound.

"That’s... a Thunder Tribulation!"

In the sky, the clouds shifted color, massive dark clouds gathering, ominous and oppressive. Endless thunder rolled within the cloud layers, like Thunderous Flood Dragons intertwining, roaring with mighty bellows.

The overwhelming might of the heavens poured down, sweeping across Tiger King Ridge.

"It’s the second brother breaking through to Phase Eight!"

Jiang Che, realizing the situation, exclaimed with joy.

"Second brother’s speed is quite astonishing!"

Hearing this, Nangong Luo also realized what was happening, a look of surprise on her face.
